1 Of Solomon. Give the king Your judgments, O God; and Your righteousness to the king's son.
2 Your people He shall judge in righteousness, and Your poor in justice.
3 The mountains will lift up peace to the people, and the little hills through righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people; and He shall save the sons of the needy; and He shall crush the oppressor.
5 They shall fear You with the sun, and before the moon in all generations.
6 He shall descend like rain on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.
7 In His days the righteous shall flourish, and plenty of peace, till the moon is not.
8 He shall also rule from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
9 Those dwelling in the desert will bow before Him, and His enemies will lick the dust.
10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Yea, all kings shall fall down before Him; all nations shall serve Him.
12 For He shall save the needy who cries, and the poor with no helper.
13 He shall have pity on the poor and needy; and He saves the souls of the needy ones.
14 He shall redeem their souls from oppression and violence; and their blood shall be precious in His eyes.
15 And He shall live, and the gold of Sheba shall be given to Him; and prayer shall be made for Him continually; He shall bless Him all the day.
16 A fullness of grain shall be in the earth on top of the mountains; its fruit shall shake like Lebanon; and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth.
17 His name shall be forever; His name shall continue before the sun; and they shall bless themselves by Him; all nations shall call Him blessed.
18 Blessed is Jehovah God, the God of Israel, who alone does wonderful things.
19 And blessed is His glorious name forever; and the whole earth is filled with His glory! Amen and amen!
20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse have ended.
